The green corrosion on the upper tank is often indicative of past leaks. I don't think you need an electric fan to cool your truck properly, though.

Look down through the opening on top & look at the tubes. If they are clean & clear you are good to go. Those are tough radiators. The leakage on the top tank is common on those. A radiator shop or someone good with solder can solder it.

Inside looks great. As good at the outside. The oe fan did not fit on the new WP pully. Plus I have added AC so having an electric fan is not a bummer to me. Will make truck overall quieter.
Ferris Looks great,you can't beat a big radiator,my 51 6400 ran 185 degrees thru a parade on the 4th,hot and humid won 20$ first place in antique truck division. Dual low is just right for parade speed,drove it there hot shut off and re-started several times worked good.

I figure with a good fan (OE fins have no pitch to them) and the efficiency of AL heads and FI I should be good to go as long as it does not leak. I even bought a generic overflow container cause I always hate dumping extra juice on the ground.
Ya, that's were all that green corrosion is. Any competent radiator shop can clean out that solder and re-do it.
